This book offers the first in-depth account of the relationship
between English and Scottish poets and the international concrete
poetry movement of the 1950s to the 1970s. Concrete poetry was a
literary and artistic style which reactivated early
twentieth-century modernist impulses towards the merging of
artistic media, while simultaneously speaking to a gamut of
contemporary contexts, from post-1945 reconstruction to
cybernetics, mass media and the sixties counter-culture. The terms
of its development in England and Scotland suggest new ways of
mapping ongoing complexities in the relationship between the two
national cultures, and of tracing broader sociological and cultural
trends in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s. Focusing especially
on the work of Ian Hamilton Finlay, Edwin Morgan, Dom Sylvester
Houedard and Bob Cobbing, Border Blurs is based on new and
extensive archival and primary research, and will fill a vital gap
in contemporary understandings of an important but much
misunderstood genre: concrete poetry. It will also serve as a vital
document for scholars and students of twentieth-century British
literature, modern intermedia art and modernism, especially those
interested in understanding modernism's wide geographical spread
and late twentieth-century legacies.
